Today I visited the newly established New Ferry Butterfly Park on the Wirral. The site, managed by the Cheshire Wildlife Trust, has been transformed over the years from former railway sidings just off Bebington railway station into a thriving habitat for wildlife.
The park offers a wonderful opportunity to enjoy butterflies and other wildlife in a well-designed, accessible setting. For further information on the site, visit the Cheshire Wildlife Trust website.
Twenty-six species of butterflies have been recorded at the park
Common Grasshopper
Gatekeeper
Small tortoiseshell
Common Blue
Brimstone
Small Skipper
Speckled Wood
The Butterfly Park
Other Moths I have seen this month have included:
